Covid inquiry live updates: UK did 'too little, too late' in early Covid response, leading to thousands more deaths
The inquiry says 23,000 lives could have been saved in the first wave England by an earlier lockdown - but also that a lockdown could have been avoided altogether with earlier interventions.

The Covid Inquiry finds that if Boris Johnson had called the first lockdown even one week earlier then it could have saved at least 20,000 lives.

Here's a quick reminder of what Johnson was actually doing during those weeks

As a bassist picking up the instrument in the nineties it's hard to overstate how influential Mani was, or how good he was. It's hard for a bassist to stand out well, but he always did.

Vaccines are safe. Vaccines save lives.

Autism is caused by genetics + environmental triggers.

Extensive studies with millions of kids showed no connection between vaccines and autism.

Doctors vaccinate our kids because we love them and want them to live to be healthy adults.

I’m not a great political analyst, but I do feel Labour have made a tactical error by opting to be cunts.

Irish singer Sinéad O'Connor was told by her record label to look more feminine, which she not only ignored but rebelled against. She later wrote an open letter to Miley Cyrus warning of the misogynistic manipulation of women by the music industry #Womensart

If we don’t signal our virtue every now and again - then so many believe they are utterly alone - “virtue signalling” is not there to say “aren’t I good” but “there are more of us than you might imagine” and “fuck you for demanding that only the brutal and the bullies may speak”

THREAD. When my parents' cat Bridget went missing, my dad, to try to ease his worry, painted her on a variety of historical ventures. Soon, these numbered in the dozens.

After much nagging, my dad has had some postcards printed of this brilliant series: michaelcoxmoredaysthansausages.bigcartel.com

Union busters told us immigrants are a threat to wages.

Neo-Nazis told us student protesters are a threat to Jews.

Child rapists told us trans women are a threat to kids.

And too many people who should know better just went right along.
